The subsystem for linux is probably the right answer here (thanks, Mike!)
but for completeness: Microsoft seems to have nmake docs at
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/nmake-reference?view=vs-2019
which presumably are comparable to most of Microsoft's docs.  I've never
actually used jot myself, so I can't say much more about it than people use
it in order to do parallel builds (not possible with nmake).
